Ugg Boot

Do you like Star Trek? They're working on a new Star Trek movie. For the part of the young Spock, Heroes star Zachary Quinto will don the pointy ears. Chris Pine (Just My Luck) plays Kirk, Karl Urban (The Lord of the Rings) is Bones, Zoe Saldana will be Uhura, and funnymen John Cho and Simon Pegg are Sulu and Scotty. See the full crew in this photo slideshow.

I'm just checking out youtube videos. Check out this classic one.... Pretty Woman.
